K. K. Gems

You can find our small shop, K. K. Gems, inside the Aja Complex on Ik Main Road. It’s right in the middle of Gauribidanur, so it is easy to get to if you are already out doing your shopping. We have been here for a while, dealing with all sorts of stones and gems. It is quiet work for the most part. We spend a lot of our time sitting at the counter with a small magnifying glass, looking at the details of a stone. Some people come in because they want something for a ring, while others are just curious about what we have in the cases. We do not have a huge selection like the big city stores, but we keep a good variety of what people around here actually want. The lighting in the complex can be a little bit tricky, so we have our own lamps to show the colors properly. It is just a regular business. We do not do much advertising or anything like that. Most people hear about us from their neighbors or relatives. We take our time with every person who walks in. It’s not about rushing to make a sale. We just like showing the different pieces we have collected. The shop is small, and sometimes it gets a bit cramped if more than three people are inside, but we make it work. It is a nice way to spend the day.
